Risovača Cave, Prehistoric show cave in Aranđelovac, Serbia.

The cave extends 800 meters into limestone rock formations, featuring intricate mineral deposits, stalactites, and stalagmites throughout its natural chambers and passages.

Discovered in 1950 during mining operations, the cave contained stone tools and animal remains from the Paleolithic period, indicating Neanderthal habitation between 35,000 and 50,000 years ago.

The main hall presents a sculptural reconstruction of a Neanderthal family performing daily activities around a hearth, demonstrating prehistoric living conditions and survival methods.

The cave welcomes visitors Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM, with guided tours covering 167 meters of illuminated passages and educational displays.

Archaeological excavations revealed fossils of 20 Ice Age species, including cave bears, lions, mammoths, leopards, hyenas, and woolly rhinoceroses.
